Public Installations
Restaurants
Installations that tell the stories of those who live their dream of owning their own business. Story walls that weave the fabric of history, family, and friends. Carved trees that bring the outdoors in. These installations are varied in size and style, but always reflect the values, integrity, and style of their restaurants.

ZZQ Story Wall
Celebrating the story of the team at ZZQ, TEXAS CRAFT BBQ
3201 West Moore Street, Richmond, VA 23230
386 sheets of 11" x 17" images are transferred on 400 sq/ft of wall to tell the ZZQ story. Each photo in this story wall is personal, each serves as a memory, and each is a record this amazing team. Image transfers offer a beautifully unique design… just like memories, most of the image remains, though we lose little details over the years. Yet, the faces and places that are part of our story are permanent.
Get a behind-the-scenes look at Alex and Chris and how they craft their BBQ at Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.
Beautifully designed by Christine Coffey at KarnesCoffey Design, the 40’ wall records the history of this team – this family.

Military Patchwork Flag
A patchwork flag made of donated military uniforms, this installation celebrates though who have served, both in and out of uniform.
Uniforms tell the story of where we’ve been –
of jungles and deserts;
arctic tundra and barren landscapes;
of high skies and high seas.
They show our awards
and hide our scars.
They’ve been soiled with blood;
with sweat;
with tears.
They’ve come out clean on the other side.
Stories that shape the fabric of our experience,
theirs are the threads that bind us.
Through the telling of each,
we are united as one.
In the telling of the collective,
We find our own.
These are our stories.
This is our story.
With deepest thanks to those who donated their uniforms,
and shared their stories.
For all those who have worn the uniform. . . . . .
Vatican City
Through a series of fortunate events, I made four boxes that Pope Francis handed out as part of his Laudato Si Startup Challenge recognizing companies that play a major role in developing sustainable ways to fight the global climate crisis. The beautiful glass piece is the award and is made by one of my grad school mentors, Jack Wax. I cannot thank him enough for the opportunity to make these boxes. I never thought I would see Vatican City on an address label.

Pope Francis Award Boxes
A Set Of Four Boxes Hold The Awards For Pope Francis’ 2018 Laudato Si Startup Challenge
To honor start up companies that play a major role in developing sustainable ways to fight the global climate crisis, Pope Francis has developed the Laudato Si Startup Challenge. Working with the incomparable glass artist, Jack Wax, these boxes made it all the way to Vatican City.
Like all custom pieces, the same commitment, detail, and craftsmanship went into making these boxes - though I may have felt a little more pressure knowing it would pass through the hands of His Holiness.
